On the other hand, poltergeist activity has remained virtually unchanged down the centuries scenes of past wickedness continue to haunt the living the spirits of the deceased stubbornly insist on returning. The modern ghost has to be more sophisticated than that. We have come a long way from headless horsemen, pookas, banshees and the like. These cases are told here for the first time, collected from women the length and breadth of Ireland – women who are vulnerable to seeing ghosts, to house-hauntings and to demonic possession. This is not just another ghost book – no rehashing of old tales or stories borrowed from other collections. Ireland’s Haunted Women tells the chilling tales of nine modern Irishwomen, and one young girl, who have experienced hauntings.

Amen, she says in the poem that closes and blesses this collection, so be it. She could be any woman, and she knows more than you think.if you push her hair aside/next to her right ear//you might notice/a small tattoo of a lock with no key in other words, as every woman, she remains, perhaps, even to herself, enigmatic, a woman without a key.

Ilya Kaminsky, Dancing In Odessa and Deaf Republic A series of intimate narrative monologues reveals the story of a woman of a certain age who frets over her hair, her weight, her place in a world that whirls about her. Elegies, songs of praise to daily life, meditations and portrait poems here all want to give us a dwelling space, to fortify, to solace, while highlighting that mystery and clarity are our companions, taking us on the journey that is this life. In THIS WOMAN IS HAUNTED Betsy Littrell has created a world we think we know and yet one that surprises us with its nuances and lyric details. In the end, there is always hope, and the resiliency of women can lead to joy despite, or perhaps because of, the reality and vulnerability that has shaped them. This honest and unafraid collection dives deep into the haunting that can't help to rise to the surface, despite the strength of someone trying to push the ghosts away. The experiences are often shared universally, but not often spoken about, from infidelity to rape to miscarriage and loss. Using both lyrical and narrative styles, her voice is strong and real as she searches for peace through childhood, relationships, womanhood and motherhood.
